| Summary: | The field/topic of children in the Hebrew Bible has received growing attention in the past few years. Just the amount of monograph length studies in this short period of time shows the developing interest. This brief essay explores some origins and backgrounds of how the topic emerged, proposes its two major current forms, discusses some current debates in the field, and then extracts interpretive fruits from this field that might benefit Hebrew Bible studies in general and perhaps even inform some related disciplines. It also suggests some ways the field may move forward and what to watch out for from this field in the coming years. Given the amount done on this topic in recent years, the essay primarily focuses on monograph length studies but informs readers of annotated bibliographies that contain relevant articles. |
